Today, we honor Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history when the last enslaved African Americans were finally emancipated on June 19, 1865, in Galveston, Texas—two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. Juneteenth is not just a celebration of freedom but also a reflection on the resilience, strength, and contributions of Black communities throughout history. It is a time to educate ourselves, acknowledge the ongoing struggles for racial justice, and commit to creating a more equitable society. As we celebrate this significant day, let's remember that the fight for equality and justice continues. It is our collective responsibility to stand against racism, support diverse voices, and ensure that freedom and opportunity are accessible to everyone. Let’s use this day to learn, grow, and actively participate in building a future where everyone is truly free. #Juneteenth #FreedomDay #EqualityForAll #DiversityAndInclusion #HistoryMatters

Participants had the privilege of hearing from George Cleveland, Pam Chowgrajank, Lorenzo B., Rita Floyd, John G. Palmer, Rob Forsyth, Caleb Deerinwater, Nida Kia, Maryanne Cheung, Amy Nienhaus (Bordewick), Andrea Kruger, Andy Gillard, BRYAN L GONTERMAN, Blake Haydon, Greg Knutson, Shelley Goodman, Charlie Bolton, and we closed out the event with John Dwyer.
